Over the last few weeks, the Special Spectators blog has featured the different aspects of the typical game day event, its impact on the seriously-ill children and families who attend and our accomplishments over the last nine seasons. Since 2002, we've hosted almost 6,000 patients, parents and siblings at about 185 games. We've done this at a total cost to the organization of less than $95,000. Given our limited resources and no paid staff, we're proud of what we've accomplished, but now it's time to focus on the future and the 2011 college football season.
In order to continue our dramatic growth, we are actively recruiting new volunteers to serve in several capacities including:
If you have experience in any of these areas listed and are excited by the opportunity to provide a magical day for seriously-ill children and their families, please consider becoming a Special Spectators volunteer. Maybe you're a recent college graduate and the current economic climate has made it difficult to find a job or you're a talented professional who has recently been laid-off and are looking to volunteer your time. Whether you can give several days a week or only a few minutes a month, we want you to join us.
This is a great opportunity for exposure as millions of fans each year have been introduced to Special Spectators. We've been featured on ESPN, ESPN.com, FSN, the Big Ten Network, Delta Airlines in-flight entertainment and local coverage in markets such as Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Dallas, Orlando, Philadelphia, Tucson and many more.
We're passionate about Special Spectators, we have a great time and you'll be amazed how spending a day at football game can impact these children and their families. To learn more, contact Blake Rockwell at Blake@SpecialSpectators.org.
